Description
I dedicate this to Kipweb as he offered me advice about a Sigma telephoto lens and this is one of many captures already.I never got a good shot of a large bird and without the lens, I would still not have one. I am not using a tripod or monopod, but I did brace myself against a bridge railing.
thanks so much for your many comments and visits

Wonderful capture Richard, the lens and your patience worked well to get this.
Super capture with wonderful color and a nature look!!!
Turned out fantastic! My lenses are Nikon mount Sigmas. I have been very happy with them. Need to actually upload some photos. When you used to do it as part of your job it loses some charm, LOL!
Superb capture Richard! Great work :)

Wow, you sure did a great job of capturing this bird! Wonderful details and very clear.
Wow! looks like you shot this on hell-of-a-zoom (ah, just read your notes, and yes, you did!) Wonderful composition Richard!!
Wonderful portrait and presentation!!!
Oh, I am so jealous!! I have yet to catch a green heron and you were lucky enough to see one!! Is this somewhere near Dallas??? I thought one had to be near the coast to see them!!
